| Route Description: |
Route Type: Circular
The course will pay dividends to those that are cautious in the opening stages. The first twenty kilometres or so are mainly uphill as you take the pull out of the basin. Walmer, Mount Pleasant and onward to Chelsea Hills this is the challenge. The return journey is your great reward as you first run down to Schoenmakerskop and then on the scenic coastal road past the Willows, ending on the beautiful coastal cycle-path to Hobie Beach.
